Same problem here, Tim. I have the new 40m aerial and feedline in the garage awaiting final assembly and hanging, but need to finish cleaning the stuff out of the XYL's garage before getting to it. Been plugging away at it, but in 90+ degree heat and humidity, it's slow going.

Hopefully things will settle down by the weekend. And hopefully the static on 40 won't be as bad as 75/80m.
